Presentation accompanying "Developing L2 Pragmatics," by Kathleen Bardovi-Harlig, published in the first issue of the Currents in Language Learning Series, issue 63:S1 of Language Learning: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/lang.2013.63.issue-s1/issuetoc
Shona Whyte's insight:
Overview of research into "how learners come to know how-to-say-what-to-whom-when." This 40-minute slide presentation by the author offers a useful way in to her state-of-the-art article on second language pragmatics; the Language Learning article itself is open access.

ELT blogger Rachel Roberts: "To read better, improve your pronunciation…. from a talk by Catherine Walter."
Shona Whyte's insight:
According to Roberts, Walter's research suggests we "sub-vocalise and record the sound of what we are reading," and so "we would be better off teaching [learners] to improve how they ‘mentally represent spoken language’ than teaching comprehension skills." The original article: Walter, C. (2008). Phonology in second language reading: not an optional extra.TESOL Quarterly, 42(3), 455-474.

In this recent TESL-EJ articles, Jarvis and Achilleos review different terminology for connecting technology and SLA (TELL, WELL, NBLL). On the basis of questionnaire data showing EFL users' preferences for mobile technology, they suggest changing two letters in the CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) acronym: Computer becomes Mobile and Learning become Use in MALU (Mobile Assisted Language Use).
The authors conclude that "MALU now needs to be our defining point of reference in keeping TESOL at the vanguard."

Which I suppose is fine if English is your frame of reference. If the field is to include other languages, it's not so easy to make the argument. Delete the scoop?

"In celebration and acknowledgement of our field’s maturity, the editors of the CALICO Journal invite submissions of research articles based on replication studies in a CALL context. We issue this invitation early to encourage CALL scholars to conduct replication studies for the CJ issue to be published in January 2015, but also welcome submissions based on studies already underway. The studies may be replications of earlier published studies in CALL or of non-CALL research in a CALL context. We welcome both approximate and conceptual replications from any theoretical perspective or research paradigm. We especially encourage projects that reflect collaboration between senior faculty and graduate students." Delete the scoop?

Foreword (Ortega & Cumming):
"Currents in Language Learning provides programmatic state-of-the-art overviews of current issues in the language sciences and their applications in first, second, foreign, heritage, and bi/multilingual language acquisition in naturalistic and tutored contexts. […]
In this first issue of Currents in Language Learning, board members and editors consider their own areas of enquiry. […]
The research agendas concern the following areas: - progress and relevance in second language acquisition (Ortega); - Usage-Based Linguistics (Ellis, O’Donnell, & Ro ̈mer); - age effects in language learning (DeKeyser); - second language pragmatics (Bardovi-Harlig); - vocabulary knowledge (Jarvis); - transfer of learning in second language instruction (Larsen-Freeman); - language, literacy, and culture (Cumming); - academic language development in schools (Schleppegrell); - Practice Theory (Young and Astarita); - evolutionary perspectives on language (Schumann).

Does research engagement by teachers (i.e. reading and doing research) enhance the quality of their classroom practices? In this talk I draw on a series of studies which examine language teachers’ and managers’ views on this issue. The findings I report highlight a range of positive, hesitant and negative perspectives on the relationship between research engagement and teaching quality. What also emerges in the views expressed by teachers and managers are diverse conceptions of what ‘research’ means, typically emphasizing personal, practical and informal activities or, in contrast, those which are more formal, theoretical and academic. Neither of these conceptions of research provides a satisfactory basis for promoting research engagement as a productive professional development strategy. I will thus conclude the talk by outlining a conception of teacher research engagement which is feasible and rigorous and which has the potential to contribute positively to the quality of language teachers’ work.
Shona Whyte's insight:
Borg highlights differing views of what consitutes "research" - unsurprisingly, teachers and researchers don't use the same definition, making collaboration challenging. Delete the scoop?

Mapping Applied Linguistics: A Guide for Students and Practitioners provides an innovative and wide-ranging introduction to the full scope of applied linguistics.
Incorporating both socio-cultural and cognitive perspectives, the book maps the diverse and constantly expanding range of theories, methods and issues faced by students and practitioners alike. Practically oriented and ideally suited to students new to the subject area, the book provides in-depth coverage of: language teaching and education, literacy and language disorderslanguage variation and world Englisheslanguage policy and planninglexicography and forensic linguisticsmultilingualism and translation.Including real data and international examples, the book features further reading and exercises in each chapter, fieldwork suggestions and a full glossary of key terms.

"Using a combination of lecture and experiential exercises, ESL education specialist Diane Larsen-Freeman traces the evolution of language teaching methods over the past 60 years, discussing how each evolutionary phase has contributed to a more "whole-person" view of language learners. Larsen-Freeman suggests that when educators treat language as a closed, static system, they create a critical barrier to student empowerment. When language is instead seen as the complex, dynamic system, teachers are able to help their students transform their linguistic world, not merely conform to it. Larsen-Freeman illustrates how this shift in understanding has implications for what and how teachers teach."
Shona Whyte's insight:
One of the big names in both second language research and teaching methodology, Diane Larsen-Freeman on the implications of CDS theory for language learners.

7th Summer Seminar: June 6th—7th, 2013 Theme: EAP and Technology-enhanced Learning The keynote talks will be by Martin Barge, Jessica Cooper and William Tweddle from Queen Mary, University of London, who have extensive experience in developing technology-enhanced courses in EAP. This is what they propose for NFEAP 2013: «Our talk will be on creating online materials for EAP students. We will cover the whole process: planning and design, sourcing content, selecting authoring platforms, piloting/trialling and revising the material (what some call an ‘iterative’ development process) and tracking its use. We will base this on our experiences of creating the “Academic English Online” materials that we created for our students at Queen Mary University, London. So our paper will be based on real experience, but will also be underpinned by key literature in the field of Computer Assisted Language Learning.» Delete the scoop?
